Hi all,
I am very happy that Polished Dyed Strong and Flexible is now available: it's a fantastic material for dice.
Shapeways is offering a discount, and I wanted to add a similar incentive for those who want to try this new material for dice.
I reduced my prices so that the three dice sets of my Truncated Spheres family are now $10 off!
So for a limited amount of time, in Polished Dyed Strong and Flexible (4 different colors):
- the Sphere Dice Set is $39.90 instead of $49.90 (7 dice: D4, D6, D8, D10, D%, D12 and D20)
- the Odd Spherical Dice set is $25.90 instead of $35.90 (6 dice: D9, D11, D13, D15, D17 and D19)
- the DCC Expansion Pack is $34.90 instead of $44.90 (6 dice: D3, D5, D7, D14, D16 and D24)
Here are some images:
Do your maths: you can get 19 colorful dice (all from D3 to D17 plus the D%, the D19, the D20 and the D24) for the price of only 10 dice!
A good way to celebrate the new colors of Shapeways, right? 
So many things to design, so little time...

Very nice stuff!
Question: do your dice have holes for powder to escape or is powder trapped inside? I would think trapped powder would be a good thing for dice, since it would make them heavier. But then what about the dyeing?

The reason I ask is that I've had models rejected because they were dyed and contain trapped powder. This happened a year ago or so, which makes me worried to order my models with trapped powder dyed. I often use 1mm walls, which may be more of a problem. I have seen problems after dyeing parts myself with 1mm walls.

You could also do a D2.. sides of a coin.
It would be funny to use "0" and "1" from the joke:

Interesting concept indeed.
Perhaps a simple coin or why not this kind of coin with "There are 10 kind of people:" on the outer ring (same on both side) and "those who know binary" and "those who don't know binary" on each side of the inner part...
